Hola, Sneakers! The hits just keep on coming! And also new episodes of Sneaky Dragon. Can we just say that we’re okay with Dave and Ian doing other podcasts, but do they have to be such babies about it? Also on this week’s show: Ian would like another long quiz, Dave; boxes, boxes, boxes, Ian; Bedknobs and Broomsticks: it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy; let us praise old, tired cartoonists; Ian recommends owning your own work; Dave’s office politics; Ian’s got the local city government, skate park blues; we say no to bullshit stores; Dave’s got the local city government, lying to your face and doing what they want anyway blues; and, finally, Dave accepts our decision and will live with it, but don’t expect him to like it.
Thanks for listening

Good show
A couple of things…
First, Ian if you pay for the flight, I’ll sort the punkazzes at the skate park…in your old neighbourhood.
Or the folks who live there could make it ‘difficult’ for them to hang out there…
A load of gravel or sand should sort it.
Second, Dave sorry but your comment about country living is a bit uneducated…most of the land in rural uk is greenbelt and under protection….so can’t be built on. If you do manage to get land, the zoning and planning approval takes, on average, three years.
I believe Ian may have been referring to ‘A Place in the Country’ which is a BBC programme where Brits with more money than sense sell their flat in London to buy a sheep farm in Devon…these folks would account for 0.000001% of the British population.
Funny joke from the 1940’s
Sandwich walks in a bar…bartender says “Sorry we don’t serve food here”
Wahka wahka
Wait! All I did was stand corrected by Ian and I’m the uneducated one? Gee whiz!
I don’t watch dumb real estate shows, guys. I have a life!
No one said you were uneducated…silly! You’re simply not educated in British telly or the haphazard and bs way with which the parish councils handle permits…
And the implication that I have no life via some knowledge of the BBC is equally insulting!!!
😉
hahahaha
Then the sandwich says, “No time for jokes, there’s a war on Mister! Bye bye and buy bonds!”
Cue the great gildersleeve!
“We-e-e-ell, Leroy…”
Great character!
I love him!
Leroy’s character is a hoot as well…and the judge.
I do have to admit that Fibber is a close third
And Gracie Allen is so gd funny I have to stop knitting to snort! hahaha
But Groucho’s game show is 1st in my heart…piss myself laughing every time…
How great is that dudes timing?
And the Bickerson’s…I wish they’d re-make that show.
Holy Schiznit that’s funny….
It’s pretty much mine and Ian’s marriage, less my spending his money..hahaha
I think the reason that shops on Main Street, Commercial Dr. etc sell bizarre things, is that the market is gone for conventional products. That’s why the Hardware Store is now a Tim Horton’s. People don’t want a hardware store, they will just go to Walmart and get it cheaper. So people who want to open a business and try to make a living, have to come up with products that you can’t get at Walmart. I think Walmart even has a barber shop, but they don’t have a barber shop with a pool table.
It’s sad that big business like that is destroying small local business. I don’t shop at Walmart personally, but I understand it’s hard. I like supporting RX Comics, but sometimes I have seen the same book on chapters.ca for $5 less or more. I can say that I “almost always” support the local business, but I have to admit I’ve gone for the cheaper option a few times.
Nice title card, David! Okay, so I waited in vain all podcast to hear which actor(s) you think would be better than Benedict Cumberbatch in the role of Dr. Strange for next year’s movie. If you take requests, maybe you and Ian could address this important topic in your next podcast? For the record, I think he’s a good choice. I haven’t heard him do an American accent before but I’m sure he can pull one off.
But if he were to become unavailable, I’d cast his Imitation Game co-star, the handsome and enigmatic Matthew Goode. He was uber-creepy-sexy in the movie Stoker with Nicole Kidman and Mia Wasikowska (written, BTW, by Wentworth Miller — yes, the Prison Break/The Flash dude!) and has already cut his teeth in the superheroes-in-trippy-costumes genre as Ozymandias in Watchmen. My sister and I also are crushing on his work as Finn in the TV series The Good Wife and his turn as Wickham in the BBC adaptation of Death Comes To Pemberley. So he’s super versatile and he wouldn’t have the baggage of having played Sherlock Holmes, Khan, and Smaug. Only drawback is that he could get confused with singer Matthew Good, especially if they put “Strange Days” on the Dr. Strange soundtrack!
Ha ha! Yeah, I was thinking that while editing the show. Oops!
It’s just that…Goddamnit, are there no American actors who can play this part? Do we have to give it to a Grinch-faced Brit whose name is synonomous with bundlefrumping?
Let’s just make it a cliffhanger, shall we?
And thanks!
We’ll always have this!

How did Ron Burgundy get the role of Dr. Strange?! Oh 1978, how I miss you!
